Fine Arts Department

The vision for our Waterbury Public Schools Fine Arts Department consists of unique programs that inspire students' life-long learning through the development of self-expression, artistic skills, creativity, and cultural awareness. 

The Waterbury Public Schools Fine Arts Department consists of abstract and aesthetic programs that enrich, enhance and fulfill the student's self-expression, emotional and practical applications. Our visual art, music, dance and theater programs guide students towards deeper self-awareness and with the directive of the Portrait of a Graduate, respond and nurture students while enhancing the student's understanding of cultural differences and commonalities. The Fine Arts Department provides a window of understanding into historical perspective and attitudes. We offer a wide range of elective course offerings in visual art, music dance and theater programs that will encourage students to become critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, effective communicators and to prepare them for college and career readiness in the field of fine arts.
